Rail City

Description
Engage the enemy in dense urban combined-arms infantry and vehicle combat! Assault a multi-tiered city as Blue, starting in the rural suburban and factory zones, pushing in through industrial railroad facilities towards the concrete hub of paved streets and apartment blocks!

Recommended Setup:
- 80 Bots Point Match, 100 Bots Battle Mode, 15 second respawn timer
- Intended primarily to be played on as Blue in default flag layout.
- Ignore the Point match score, the invading blue team "loses" in an instant. Play on "endless instant action" setting to properly enjoy the whole map.
-Contains Tanks, APCs and jeeps, RHIB slot may be switched to a Helicopter or other vehicle.
-Specops is not supported, bot patrols will get stuck in the respawn rooms.

Made by Starstrafe in the Ingame Map Editor.

Lore

Having started off as a remote factory town, the humble rail city has since grown to support a modest local economy, nestled deep in the peaceful plains of contested Red and Blue territory. It managed this partly due to the constant stream of rail passengers passing through; Eagles, Ravens, and all manner of hued people besides would regularly transit through the north train station while on their way to work and study. More than a few grumpy sidelong glances were exchanged across the train platform… However, never ones to let a centuries-long existential military feud get in the way of daily living and college essay deadlines, the Eagles and Ravens patiently continued to tolerate the other's presence throughout the city.

However, peace was not to last! Waking up from a curious "catering-induced" coma following an impromptu skirmish over a billionaire's Villa [http//a+billionaire%27s+Villa] , Raven government leadership promptly messed their pants after seeing what kind of disgusting passive coexistence was occurring in the city! Never ones to let daily living interfere with a centuries-long existential military feud, they scrambled to dismantle the passenger rail line, putting an end to this co-operative nonsense! Eagle leadership – who had been no less perturbed by the situation, but were still riding out the hangover from a considerably longer "catering" coma of their own – gladly allowed them to do so without protest.

But protest did in fact occur, and from within the soldiers' ranks, no less! The grunts loved their public transportation! Many had set up shops in the city! Many had found part-time jobs in the metal yards! And many more still had midterm essays to urgently submit! Now, both factions' leadership knew better than to mess with their student population, as it was imperative to create as many graduates as possible so that they may become immediately unemployed and indebted as soon as possible. Therefore, with unprecedented simultaneity, both governments begrudgingly approved the railway's reopening, planning a grand re-opening ceremony to celebrate their "benevolent" and "mutually beneficial" decision.

There was just one problem left… Which faction would host the ceremony?

Each wanting to appear as the stronger and more benevolent party, Eagle and Raven leaders argued back and forth through increasingly terse diplomatic memos. Each side was desperately angling for that propaganda victory, neither side was willing to back down. The issue continued to escalate until… The inevitable occurs! Negotiations have failed! Send in the troops! We need to be the ones to let them into the city, don't let them let us into the city (by means of rail travel) ! Get in there and conduct a full-force ground assault in the name of Eagle / Raven honor (by means other than rail travel) ! It is a tale as old as time! Long live the righteous struggle!

…If indeed the Eagle and Raven grunts ever do learn exactly what it is they are fighting for, maybe some of em' will just… I dunno', start a bus service or something instead…

Honestly, top 2 city maps. I love how multi directional it is. I love the mix of close and distance fighting. I love the pushing one side back. It's fantastic.

This is a freakin' awesome map, don't change a thing! Your maps are so good! @starstrafe - this map was made with the ingame editor, correct?

@Yul Rave (starstrafe) It's your mod so you can do what you want to do with it but i personally think it's silly to put the rhib instead of a helicopter. It's more convenient to just disable heli spawn through the config menu rather replacing it with transport boat slot with heli, especially for people who download a ton of mods

question
why is there... a boat? on the eagles spawn theres a spawn for a patrol boat XD

@AlphaRH I just cant stand helicopters in normal matches bombarding me randomly while im trying to manage the fight against infantry. Also spawn points are ripe for being exploited by choppers spawnkilling. So i prefer to not have a chopper by default, though i understand some people don't mind any of that.

@hoffaklr yeah, i could do that

Could you move the rhib spawn on the eagle side upward a bit? I was trying to use some vanilla+ and halcyon crisis helis and they would either have the front gear stuck or have half of the heli stuck in the ground. good map tho
